Elose We already reported that Rick Elzinga (23) has switched to Van Venrooy Racing KTM. MXGP debutant Elzinga will finish the season for the team from Rogat. He replaces Mattia Guadagnini, who is injured on his right shoulder and collarbone.

After mutual consultation, Elzinga and Betamotor have decided to end their collaboration. The Dutchman scored no points in the three GPs on Beta. His best race result was 22nd in Race 1 in Switzerland.

Both parties wish to thank each other for the joint work and commitment during their collaboration. The decision was made jointly and with mutual respect. The goal for both parties: to move into the future in the best possible way.

Rick Elzinga: I want to sincerely thank Betamotor, Lapo Bianchi, and the entire MRT Racing Team for the opportunity they gave me. We gave everything we had, and although the results did not match our ambitions, I leave without any negative feelings and with great respect for everyone involved.

Betamotor: “We thank Rick for his dedication and wish him all the best in the next chapter of his career.

It is not yet clear whether Elzinga will be replaced in the MRT Racing Beta team.
